Mark was on the verge of tears yet again, "You-you are a saint. A real like, a real saint. I've done so much like wrong and evil and like more evil stuff in my life but you are my only anchor." The world's tiniest violin was probably now playing a reprise in the background. "I don't deserve you Otto."

Gale attempted what he hoped was a reassuring smile. "Thank you," he said, and then followed Stormy's gaze to where Jake was, his expression shifting to one of exasperation. He hastily turned back to Stormy. "Good point," he said with a small cough. "I'll, er - ow!"
Something had caught him around the back of his head, and Gale twisted around, rubbing his scalp to find "Dad" standing over him with his scythe directed towards him. "What are you talking about?" Gale yelped, and backed quickly away, dragging Stormy with him. "I promise I'm not trying to hurt i - him, okay. It's, er..."
He flailed for words, eyeing the scythe suspiciously. "I am just trying to make sure everyone gets a turn to have a hug!"

"No, no Mark! Shhhh sssshhhh don't say things like---AAAH!!" Otto yelped as Nevada pulled him up by the collar. "No, Nevada! I can't fight when my soul mate needs me!"

"I'll never leave you Otto!" Mark shouted as Nevada broke in and destroyed the sacred circle of bromance. "I'll- I'll alway be here. Part of you. Think of me and be strong." He said this while holding fo dear life to Otto's only shoed foot.

"I'll make it quick," Caelius decided, proud of himself for being so sensitive and aware of Gale's feelings, "I'll make sure you don't suffer."
He said this pretty quietly and spent an abnormal amount of time between strikes just staring soulfully with a flat expressionless gaze at Gale. Gale was too young to really understand. What a pity. kurotomato Gale takes 9 damage ( he can attack back if he wishes)

Peyton had been reduced to a sad little ball of regret, guilt, and forgiveness when Melvin had dragged Otto and her into a giant hug. It was overwhelming, and she clung to Otto as the feels consumed her.
Until a giant pumpkin(why did that look so familiar?) crashed the party and started scooping people up and attacking.
When she was released she summoned Warrick, ready to go on the offensive. She was still a little over emotional though, and her first swing went a little wide.

Jerry was just wishing for popcorn or even a bag of peanuts for this ridiculous meeting when suddenly it wasn't so funny. The massive pumpkin unfurled it's viney tentacles and by the time he had Roar summoned and up on his shoulder, his Moony friend was howling in terror. "JASON!! Ah... just... HOLD YOUR EARS!" He managed to shout before taking aim.... The canon's eyes flashed green as energy charged within it's mouth, and with an explosive bark the air rippled at the vine that clasped Jason's limbs. Enraged by the sting, the pumpkin thrashed, a stray vine snapping at Jerry to send him tumbling backward with Roar on his stomach, his ears ringing afresh. HP: 50-5=45 Damage: 8 (status- stats nerfed via handkey cancer) Total Damage: 97+8= 105

Oh, she was so proud! It wasn't to say she didn't appreciate Gale's seriousness normally, because she most certainly did, but it was a nice turn of events to see him actively caring. In public too! And smiling and willing to share happiness and oh she could just burst into tears again because how did she find someone like him again?
But then once more Stormy found herself yanked back as Caelius interrupted. W-Wait, fooled? Gale hadn't been...had he? But he didn't lie to her, he said so! Her head hurt thing to think it through past all the emotions, but she figured his hurt worse with all those swings, and so with a set face she let Gale's hand go and moved to stand before him. Defense was still her way to redemption, after all.
"Mr. Caelius, sir, hitting people makes things worse," she tried to reason. "We should make a friendship circle like earlier, that was nice...We could include the entity in it!"

"HOLD ON JUST A SECOND," Gale bellowed, now dropping most pretense and whirling around to face Caelius just in time to catch the scythe to his stomach. He staggered backwards, momentarily winded, and glowered at the D-word leader (though "Death" was not the word Gale was currently thinking belonged at the end of that letter). Automatically he lifted the rifle to fire backwards, a gesture of intuitive self-defense mingled with a strong desire to finally have a chance to actually hit Caelius.
Except Stormy's voice somewhere to his left made him stop. Gale cast a sideways glance at Stormy's worried face and hastily rearranged his face again to adopt a more calm expression. "Look, er..."
He waffled, and finally said the word, though it was stretched out and sounded vaguely as though Gale were talking through gritted teeth, "D...a...d, look, I'm not trying to hurt the thing, I only want to, er...give it more attention."

Caelius listened patiently to Stormy. And listened patiently to Gale. And then there was a very, very long pause. "I see." He put his weapon away.

- And resummoned it. He did see. And he didn't think it was very considerate of his feelings.
Somewhere entirely separate of the pumpkin entity there was a rather impressive arc of brilliant blue light that probably came from a scythe weapon that wasn't as large as overcompensating axes or sniper rifles. Everyone within range, so mostly Gale and Stormy, went flying.
"I don't appreciate you hitting me like that." Caelius crouched over at the fallen Gale and Stormy. "You should be a rainbow, not a," air quotes," painbow."

Shiloh tried to stop his wailing, sniffling as he looked up at Ian and nodded. "Yes," he exclaimed between sobs, "It's all okay! I'm sorry if I made you feel pressured that you had to say 'I love you' you know, it's really okay," hiccup, "You try so hard and I know you do, you're just, just, you're too precious for this world!" He dissolved into wails again, wrapping his arms around Ian in the tightest hug. " I love you, Ian." It was very pertinent that he let Ian know that, right that second, just like it was important that he snagged the sleeve of Lucky's jacket as the Life hunter returned to his seat, pulling him into the giant bear hug. "Lucky! Oh, Lucky, I'm so sorry to you too, I know you were just trying to save the world in your own way, I know you didn't mean to take credit for my death, you just did what you had to, I'm so lucky to have you, Lucky, as a partner." he continued to half speak, half sob, squishing them both into the hug until they were all pretty much standing. It was only then that he noticed the pumpkin, and the Death lead wailing on a midget. "No, no, that's not- Caelius, you're no better than him when he hurt that poor pumpkin!" He outstretched his arm from amid the hug, as though his feelings might somehow reach Caelius. kurotomato incoming awkward (also enjoy the spn quote >D)

Relieved they weren't going to fight anymore, Stormy shot Gale a small look for shooting his new dad but let it go. First she took Gale's hand again and squeezed it. "Gale is sensitive now, honest," she informed Caelius proudly. "He said I make him happy and he wanted to share it. He just got confused how to because he's not used to sharing! So I'll show him how, 'cause even though you're right, I do break things--"
And that was when she found herself flying. Thane snarled in her head as her shield took a large amount of damage at once, but the only thing she could manage was a strangled yelp a split second before landing flat on her back. Dazed and winded, the trainee whimpered as the D-word Lead leered over them, deciding it was probably a bad idea to move for many reasons.
"H-He didn't mean it," she defended nevertheless in a small voice, now feeling responsible somehow. "Right, Gale? Say you're...sorry..." Apologies were the first step to recovery, right? Maybe a few hundred sorries would help her out right now.

For a brief, shining moment, Gale thought he had finally gotten through to Caelius.
He was wrong.
The both of them - Gale and Stormy - went flying backwards, bright blue light scorching through the air, and Gale landed in a crumpled heap on the ground, gasping for breath. He quickly rolled over, reaching for Stormy to make sure she was okay, one hand grasping her wrist.
"I can't say sorry yet," he said soothingly, once he'd determined that she was, in fact, still breathing. "I've gotta make sure that he, er...doesn't hurt anyone, okay? It doesn't hurt him, remember? My bullets just tickle, they don't actually, er, you know, physically maim."
And if "tickle" was a synonym for "hurt" then it totally wouldn't be lying.
He twisted the rifle around, got up on one knee, and very carefully aimed the gun towards "Dad," rather than Shiloh who, what it looked like, was attempting to prevent Caelius from doing further damage.
"I'm just trying to help you," said Gale hastily to Caelius. "You know, I'm just trying to keep, er...the pumpkin...safe....yes, that's it....and trying to make it let go so other people can have a chance to be loved too."
Gale squinted through the telescopic lens, and then (a little too happily) pulled the trigger.
